Welcome to my beer bar Katie! What can I pour for you to start?I am pregnant and totally miserable. I'd love to drown my sorrows in a vat of alcohol but I don't want a funny looking baby. So, I'll have a cranberry juice.**you know my mom loves to remind me that she kept drinking wine and smoking cigs while pregnant and basically it meant instead of squeezing out 10 pound babies they had 6 pounders****OH CALM DOWN ALL YOU HYSTERICS! THIS IS IN NO WAY TO ADVOCATE DRINKING OR SMOKING DURING THE PRECIOUS PREGNANT MONTHS. IT'S FUNNY. 
You have a very cool book out right now...tell us about it.It's a cute little story about a woman, Kat Boudreaux, who used to be a mercenary/assassin/contract interrogator who leaves the life to get married. Her husband dies and she becomes the steward of a huge oil company. Someone from her past wants her dead. Her brother, a Force Recon Marine, and his unit decide they need to protect her. The unit's sniper, Shooter, is the only one tough enough to stand up to Kat. When her daughter is kidnapped she will do absolutely anything to save her. Murder, torture, nothing is off limits. Shooter has to decide if he can handle all that is Hell Kat Boudreaux.

Yeah, yeah, and so what I really want to know more about is....catnip man! Tell me the amazing romance novel you are CURRENTLY living in!Oh, you mean my sexy as all holy hell Brazilian husband. Five years ago, on Christmas Day, my first husband died. I'd decided to remain single and spend my nights snuggled up with a pile of hot romance novels. Then I meet Rogerio. I couldn't write a better romance novel hero. He's pretty much perfect. He is GORGEOUS!  He practices Brazilian jiu jitsu. He's a pastry chef. He absolutely loves, adores, and spoils my seven year old daughter. He is the kindest, sweetest, most compassionate man in the whole world. Aaaaannnd....if he'd let me, based on his performance alone, I could write the sexiest, hottest love scenes EVER. So when he had the balls to ask me to marry him on Christmas Day, knowing how crappy that day had been for me in the past, I had to say yes. There really was no reason to say no. Now, I'm knocked up with his kid and drinking cranberry juice.    *DOES HE HAVE A TWIN BROTHER?* ahem. sorry, said that out loud....
plus: what we all MUST know:  boxers or briefs?Boxer briefs. The ones that hug their thighs and manly bits.....DAMN! This extra pregnancy blood flow is giving me a hot flash. Can you turn that fan on down there?
whoops empty glass--what can I get next for you?How about ice? Just ice. I need to cool down a bit.Oh honey wait 'til you get to my stage....the term "hot flash" does not do my power surges justice!
how did you come up with the idea for your book?When I first started writing I wrote this truly terrible spy epic. Some of my readers were a bit upset that the hero and heroine didn't fall in love. I couldn't see either of them being that vulnerable. So  I took them out of that story and put them in one where they could fall in love. I wrote it to appease my pissed off readers. 
Is this your first published book? tell us about your journey -- long? short? annoying? frustrating? easy?Yes. I started writing when I was locked up in a hospital for a month. You can only watch so many episodes of Maury testing 60 guys to discover the paternity of one child before you're begging the nurse to throw you out of a sixth floor window. Nurse Nancy wouldn't play Splatter the Patient, so I started writing. Never Say Just was my third finished book. I'd tried to have my other two published, but no one wanted them. I think I received more rejections than a pimp in a nunnery. I never intended to publish Never Say Just. It was my first romance novel. It didn't sound like a typical romance novel. It has guns, fighting, murder, torture. It's not romantic in a traditional sense. I joined a critique group and the members told me to submit it. So I did and it was accepted right away. I guess snarky, sarcastic stories about bitches who could kill you fifteen different ways with a paperclip are romantic.
and now for a nightcap what's your poison?I think I'm going to have Brazilian catnip.
Bragger....seriously Katie you are the bomb and you deserve all the catnip, morning sickness, and dirty diapers you get!  Love ya and good luck!Oh, she's giving away a free copy of her book to one lucky commenter so leave us some love down there...I mean...oh you know what I mean.Buy Never Say Just:
